Installing A Dimm On A Single Clip Dimm Socket - Asus Z9PR-D12 SERIES User Manual

2.4.3

Installing a DIMM on a single clip DIMM socket

1. Press the retaining clip outward to
unlock a DIMM socket.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket
such that the notch on the DIMM
matches the DIMM slot key on the
socket.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force
a DIMM into a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM.
3. Hold the DIMM on both ends, then
insert the DIMM vertically into the
socket. Apply force to both ends
of the DIMM simultaneously until
the retaining clip snaps back into
place, and the DIMM cannot be
pushed in any further to ensure
proper sitting of the DIMM.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to prevent damage to the
DIMM notch.
